sup everyone. after tons of searching through boards i have a couple questions concerning f22's and boost. assuming 8psi of boost from a t3 a/r .48 with proper fuel management and starion intercooler
1. What are the weaknesses of the f22a???
2. What are the limits of the OEM rod, piston, crank, crankwall???
3. With aftermarket rods and pistons for lower compression, will there be other weaknesses concerning the engine???
4. What is the life expectancy of an engine with no engine work but with the assumed setup??? also assuming the engine is in good condition???
5. Does anyone have pics of 4th gen's with turbo setups??? Mainly looking at turbo manifold designs. i've seen the turbo on top of manifold, on the side by the battery, straight out near the radiator, any other types out there and are there any major differences with the design concerning, efficiency, flow and lag.

thanks!!!

 

noobie
1)stock internal-too much boost=bye bye
2)10psi tuned daily driver?
3)dont know
4)oil cooler, tranny cooler= good investment.
turbo is inconsistance=no definite answer.
how's 7psi stock internal daily driver?

 

It's all about tuning, tuning, tuning.
You really don't want to lower compression. This engine already has a good compression ratio for boost. Lowering further will only make your engine suck when not in boost. With the engine tuned properly and in good condition, it should last as long as the stock equivalent...

 

Well, the F22's biggest weakness does not affect reliability. It's weakness lies in the head. With some porting, it becomes a much better motor. You could run much more boost with that setup than you'd think. However, the T3/T4 is too big for you if you're just gonna run that. The T3-Super 60 would give you better spooling, and still have potential left over.

 

can i have the specs to your setup??
1. Manifold?
2. Turbo?
3. Fuel Management?
4. Model/Yr?
5. Intercooler?
6. PICS???
thanks!!!

 

n/m checked out your site and looks like u have a fmax kit. u got times on that beast???

 

nice, do u have qtr mile times on that??? or estimated whp???

 

hey what kind of fan do you have for the koyo radiator? do you only have one fan in there? see a difference in cooling?

btw are you that guy that knows "spoonEG" that has a koyo radiator for sale?

 

i guess you changed to a spoon thermostat? are you on a 10" fan? what brand?

hey so are you able to to old the radiator until june? i will be ready to buy it then.
